History
Knights (Cavaliere) of the House of Bove traveled north to Germany, where they lead many armed forces with the House of Grisone. Count Carl of Anjou, later titled King Charles I of Naples requested their support against King Conradin of Sicily. In the 13th century King Charles I of Naples ennobled Sergio Bove of the House of Bove with title and feudal territories in Bitonto. Sergio Bove's title allowed him to administer trade and commerce in his feudal territories.
November 1, 1419 the House of Bove received partial exoneration of taxes from Queen Joan II of Naples, Kingdom of Naples.
Coat of Arms: a golden ox with a golden letter K,
